The Tohatsu MFS30DL represents cutting-edge outboard technology in a 20-inch shaft configuration, perfect for boats requiring deeper transom mounting. This revolutionary 3-cylinder, 4-stroke engine delivers 30 horsepower while maintaining the lightest weight in its class at just 129 pounds. The Generation D design achieves a remarkable 19% weight reduction compared to previous models, making it ideal for applications where every pound matters.
Advanced battery-less Electronic Fuel Injection technology eliminates the need for a battery to operate the fuel system, ensuring reliable starts and smooth operation across the entire 5,500-6,500 RPM range. This sophisticated EFI system delivers impressive fuel efficiency at just 2.7 gallons per hour at wide-open throttle, while maintaining EPA and CARB 3-Star emission compliance for ultra-low environmental impact. The 500cc displacement and optimized 61mm x 57mm bore and stroke configuration provide exceptional torque characteristics for superior acceleration.
The newly designed torpedo-shaped gear case reduces drag and improves hydrodynamic flow, while repositioned engine mounts minimize vibration for quieter operation. The optimized 2.17:1 gear ratio maximizes low-end torque, perfect for getting boats on plane efficiently. Engineering improvements include dual water intakes for enhanced cooling, transparent fuel filter with floating indicator ring, and best-in-class 12V, 210W, 17.5A alternator output.
The MFS30DL features Tohatsu’s redesigned standard tiller handle with integrated four-step variable idle control (750-1050 RPM), forward-neutral-reverse shifter, throttle friction adjustment, and engine stop switch. The 20-inch shaft length makes this motor ideal for deeper transom applications, bay boats, center consoles, and larger hulls requiring proper water immersion for optimal cooling and performance.
Built for maximum versatility, the MFS30DL excels with aluminum fishing boats, fiberglass bay boats, larger RIBs, and center console applications. High-solid paint coating provides superior protection against UV rays and saltwater corrosion. With Tohatsu’s legendary reliability, comprehensive 5-year limited warranty, and proven Japanese engineering, the MFS30DL delivers the perfect balance of power, efficiency, and dependability for serious boaters.
